Management is a collection of cronies from Danaher and Rexnord. They came in and fired all the people with valuable experience and technical knowledge in order to create vacancies for more of their "club". They have a "let them eat cake" mentality. No respect or trust for highly skilled employees. Micromanagement X 10. NO opportunity for internal advancement. They all come from outside and from high volume production environments which have NOTHING in common with out business.

Advice to Management

Quit trying to cram a square peg into a round hole. We were just sold to Circor, so hopefully this place will soon get a management enema.

There are a few very talented and professional employees in accounts payable and collections!Overtime for some hourly employees is allowed.

Cons

This company is unprofessional and unethical.Management does not tell the EMPLOYEES or CUSTOMERS the truth about many things. You will rarely (almost never) have any promotions from employees in Colfax! Almost all lower and middle management positions are filled from new hires and not from qualified Colfax employees.There is entirely too much favoritism within this company!

Advice to Management

Upper management must get involved in making positive changes and not just continue to use "smoke and mirrors" in an attempt to cover up the problems.
